NU’s Delano, Big 12 defensive player of the week

Nebraska junior middle blocker Brooke Delano earned her second Big 12 Player of the Week honor as she was named the league’s defensive player of the week. Delano was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week back in September after she earned MVP honors at the Ameritas Players Challenge.

The Bellevue, NE native helped lead the Huskers to wins over Oklahoma and No. 13 Texas last week with 13 total blocks in the two matches, as she led the league with 1.62 blocks per set for the week.

Delano and the rest of the Huskers will put their 13 match winning streak and 6-0 conference record on the line Wednesday night at Missouri.
